This wintry Roasted Radicchio Persimmon Salad is as easy as it is delicious. After being roasted until just wilted, the radicchio is drizzled with a pomegranate molasses balsamic dressing, and then roasted to char its edges. The sweet and tangy dressing goes nicely with the bitter radicchio and sweet persimmons. Finish it off with pickled mustard seeds, goat cheese, and a sprinkle of pistachios.
The recipe calls for pickled mustard seeds. You can use store-bought, if you wish, but they are easy to make and store well. To a small saucepan, add ⅓ a cup of yellow mustard seeds, ½ a cup of both water and white wine vinegar, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, ½ a teaspoon of salt, and a bay leaf. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Simmer the mustard seeds for 20 minutes or until most of the brine is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let cool. Store the pickled mustard seeds in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use as a condiment to add flavor and texture to your favorite dishes.
To make the Roasted Radicchio Persimmon Salad, you’ll need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 450 °F.
On a large baking sheet, place 2 quartered radicchios and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt to taste.
Roast for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons pomegranate molasses and 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar.
Remove the radicchio from the oven and rizzle with the prepared dressing. Roast the radicchio for another 5 minutes until wilted and slightly charred.
Arrange the roasted radicchio on a platter. Add the sliced persimmons. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios and 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese. Garnish with 1 tablespoon pickled mustard seeds and fresh cracked black pepper.
